I'm going to finish these questions for methods
and turn them in.  And they will be completely wrong.  And I don’t even care anymore, because I’ve ruined every other assignment this quarter and this professor obviously has grown to dislike me.

I know this sounds incredibly lame
but the one person I’ve found on campus who studies exactly what I want to study (someone whose work is among the primary reasons I chose this school) is leaving on sabbatical in a few weeks.   She’ll be gone for 18 months - basically the entire time I’ll be formulating and writing my thesis.  This is ridiculously bad news and is making me wonder what the fuck I’m even...

It's above freezing and raining

Dear Seattle,
Enjoy the several inches of fine, powdery snow today because after you pack it onto the roads and sidewalks with your walking and sledding instead of shoveling or plowing it, the city will turn into a giant, impassible sheet of ice. Love, Your resident Ohioan

I have literally done everything wrong in SOC 508
Like honestly, I have subtly fucked up every single assignment we’ve had so far. This would be hilarious if it wasn’t so disastrous.

Studies have shown that we like sheep are prone To sure fatal doses of malcontent through osmosis But don’t be sympathetic, just pass the anaesthetic ‘Cuz sheep are benign and on the young we will dine Burn her pale blue shroud, and tread on her bones The din of the boys club crowd, reveals we’ve always been clones Oh this being true you know there’s more than just...

Reading about fertility trends is SO ASTOUNDINGLY...
I’m reading articles in which demographers take two things that are so personal and meaningful - having sex and starting a family - and turn them into formulas.  I can’t help but think to myself WHAT KIND OF PERSON DOES THIS?
